Dec. 30, 1930. J. HALBERSTADTER FLOWERPOT STAND Filed Juhe 22. 1927 INVENTOR Jun/4 M I/.51: Tamra BY ATTORNEYS Patented Dec. 30, 1930 I f UNIT srs'r JUDA HALBERSTADTER, OF ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY FLOWERPOT- s'rAnn Application filed June 22,

This invention relates to improvements in flower pot stands, and has for one of its objects to provide a stand of simple and inexpensive construction in which a flowerpot may be securely retained in position and which may be mountedupon a window sill, fence or other like place so as to effectively display the flowers in saidpot.

Another object is to provide the stand with a holder and a supporting bracket adapted to be secured to a window sill or the like and arranged'topermit of said holder being adjusted to various. positions relative to said sill.

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detail description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention idea.

In the drawing-' Figure 1 is a side elevation of the stand constructed in accordance with the invention and showing the bracket thereof attache-d to a window sill or like support;

Figure 2 is a front elevation, partly broken away and shown in section;

Figure 3 is a front elevation showing the holder mounted upon a fence or like structure; and

Figure 1 is a similar view but with a por tion of the bracket attached to the holder and utilized for connecting the same to the fence.

Referring more particularly to Figures 1 and 2, the numeral 5'indica-tes a window sill or like structure to which is attached the angular plate 6 of a supporting bracket having vertically aligned hearings in the form of rings 7 on one portion of the plate adapted to receive the lower extremity of a supporting arm 8, said lower extremity being rotatable in the bearings 7 to permit of the arm being swung to various positions relative to the Window sill. In order that the arm 8 may be rigidly held in a position ex? tending outwardly from the sill, the plate 6 is provided with bosses 9 arranged on opposite sides of the bearings 7 and said bearings are provided with opposed openings adapted to align with an opening formed in the lower 19 2? Serial No. 200,547. I p i q extremity of the arm 8 mounted in said bearing's so that a locking bolt or pin 10 may be extended through the bosses 9 and said aligned openings with'a threaded end of the boltengaged with one of the bosses. In this manner the arm 8 is locked in position .and its lower extremity is prevented from rotating in-the bearings.

The flower pot holder forming a part of made of any suitable material and constituting a receptacle which is provided interiorly Jtl'iereof and intermediate its top and bottom with an inwardly directed flange 15 forming ashelf or support upon which is rested the bottom of the flower pot 16. On diametricallyopposite sides of the body 14 the same .is provided with enlargements or bosses 1? having openings 18 therein for re ceiving the lower ends of clamping members 19 secured insaid openings by means of set screws or other suitable, fastening devices20. The upper end of each clamping member is provided with a hook 21 adapted to engage over the upper edge of the pot 16, so that 275 when the clampingmembers 19 aresecured in position the pot will be rigidly held on the holder. The portion of the body 14 below the flange 15 therein is provided fwith an opening22 therethrough into which may be .g;

inserted a drip pan 23 for catching the water that se eps through the bottom of the flower pot. The bottom of the body 1 1 has a standard 24 depending therefrom which terminates in its lower end in a transverse plate 25 designed to rest upon the intermediate portion of the angularsupport 12 and said plate has depending therefrom a screw 26 which is adapted to engage in the socket portion 13 when the flower pot holder is mounted upon the bracket. A set screw 27 in said socket por tion is engageable with the screw to fasten the holder in position on thesupport 12.

If it is desired to mount the holder upon a fence or other like structure 28, this may be r. done in two ways. In Figure 3, the holder is shown detached from the support 12 and the screw 26 threaded into the top rail of the fence with the plate 25 engaging said rail. Another screw 29 maybe extended through the present invention comprises a body 14 .260

the plate 25 and engaged withsaid rail in order to preventany possibility of the holder being turned with respect to the rail after being properly positioned'thereon.

if In Figure 4, the holder is shown still att'ached to the support 12, which has been detached from the plate 11, and its extremities V rested upon the top rail of the fence and secured thereto by suitable fasteners 30.
